Spotify Jam is a new feature that allows users to have a personalized, real-time listening session with their friends or group. It is a collaborative way to listen to music together, where Premium subscribers can invite others to contribute through a shared queue and enjoy a musical experience made exclusively for everyone listening. Here are some key features of Spotify Jam:
-
Availability: Jam is available for all Spotify users globally, and Premium listeners everywhere can start a Jam and anyone on Spotify can join.
-
How it works: To start a Jam, Premium users can select a playlist or song they want to listen to and click the "Start a Jam" button by clicking the speaker icon at the bottom of their screen or by hitting the three-dot menu within their favorite playlist or song. They can then invite their friends or group to join the Jam, and Jam will help them find the perfect songs to add to the queue, finding the overlaps in their listening preferences to deliver music recommendations that everyone will love.
-
Adding songs: Everyone in the Jam can add songs to the queue, see who added which song, and receive recommendations, all from their own devices. The song recommendations come from Spotify and are personalized based on the overlap of everyone’s listening preferences, leaving plenty of opportunity for new music to be discovered.
-
Controls: Anyone in a Jam can control what’s playing on the speaker. The host has the ability to determine who’s in the Jam, change the order of the tracks, or remove a song that doesn’t fit the vibe. Hosts can also enable guest controls that give other Jam participants the ability to remove tracks or change the song order.
-
Premium subscription: Premium subscribers can start and host a Jam, while anyone on Spotify, including free users, can join and add songs to the Jam.
In summary, Spotify Jam is a new feature that allows users to have a personalized, real-time listening session with their friends or group. It is available for all Spotify users globally, and Premium subscribers can start and host a Jam, while anyone on Spotify can join and add songs to the Jam.
